3D printed dentures cost: what US providers publish, and what insurance pays

Check a price for your state below: pick the state and the number of arches, add the price you were quoted if you have one, and tell the tool how you plan to pay.

What US providers charge for a 3D-printed denture

We read the 3D or digital denture pages of 11 US practices and chains on November 14, 2026. 5 publish a price for a printed denture; the other 6 do not. Every price below is quoted from the provider's own page, except where noted for Affordable Dentures & Implants.

"From" means the provider gives a starting price. Digital Denture + Implants does not say on its plans page whether its prices are per arch or per set, so the tool leaves them out of its per-arch range. The Affordable Dentures & Implants figures are the same on all 368 office pricing pages we collected on August 22, 2026; on November 14, 2026, Google's result for its RealFit 3D page still quoted "Starting at $2,100 for single arch upper or lower denture" (the price itself loads by script and could not be read on the page).

Pages we read that publish no printed-denture price: Aspen Dental (national chain), Texas Dental Center (Houston, TX), Greeley Teeth (Greeley, CO), Absolute Dental (Las Vegas, NV), McKinley-Holloway Legacy Dentistry (Shelby Township, MI), New Hope Digital Dentures & Implants (Fort Wayne, IN). Texas Dental Center lists lab-made denture prices only.

Printed vs conventional: cheaper at independent practices, a premium tier at a 368-office chain

Independent practices. In the 5 cases where the same practice publishes both prices (3 practices), the printed denture costs 44% to 67% of the conventional one, and 48% in the middle case. Three of these pairs come from Digital Denture + Implants, which prints its own "vs ... Conventional" price next to each digital tier; without them, the two other practices land at 48% and 67%. Spring Hope Family Dentistry, in North Carolina, prints in-house at $1,266 for an upper and $1,297 for a lower, against $2,655 per arch for a lab-made denture, and says "a year of adjustments is included with every denture package". Simple Dental Las Vegas lists $1,200 against $1,800 per arch.

A 368-office chain. Affordable Dentures & Implants prices its Digital RealFit 3D denture from $2,100 per arch for a replacement and $2,250 for a new patient. On its price pages, that is the second-highest of 7 denture tiers:

So "3D printed" does not set the price by itself. What changes the bill is the tier (teeth and base material), what the price includes, and whether the practice prints in-house or pays a lab. For scale, the ASQ360°/CareCredit Average Procedural Cost Study 2023-2024 puts a full set of conventional dentures (both arches) at $1,968 on average nationally, from $1,676 to $2,867 depending on the state; the tool above shows your state's figure. Our Affordable Dentures price guide covers every tier of that chain.

Lab price vs your price

Dental labs publish price lists for dentists. For a printed complete denture, the entry prices on the 4 lists we read run from $160 to $269:

• DentX Dental Lab: printed denture $160, acrylic denture $180.
• Digital Dentures Lab: 3D printed $189, PMMA milled $299, traditional $389.
• Stomadent Dental Laboratory: from $218 for a transitional or economy denture on its digital printing page, and up to $438 for what it calls "Premium Digital Dentures", which the page does not say are printed.
• Crown World Dental Lab: $269 for a new 3D-printed denture (listed at $317), and $159 for a 3D-printed duplicate of an existing denture.

A lab list prices the denture the lab makes for the dentist. The patient price also pays for the practice's own visits and services: Affordable Dentures & Implants, for example, describes an exam and X-rays, preparation and impressions, then check-ups and adjustments, and Spring Hope includes a year of adjustments. Two lab facts are useful to a patient. On both lab lists that price several methods, printing is the cheapest. And a duplicate printed from an existing design is a priced item: Affordable Dentures & Implants also says that, because scans are saved, a new pair can be made from them. It is fair to ask what a spare would cost.

How insurance and Medicaid pay for a printed denture

Dental plans and Medicaid pay by CDT code. The codes for a complete denture name the arch and the timing, not the way the denture is made: D5110 (complete denture, upper), D5120 (complete denture, lower), and D5130 and D5140 for immediate dentures, upper and lower. None of these code names says how the denture is made, so a printed complete denture is reported under the same code as a conventional one, and your plan's coverage percentage and annual maximum for dentures should apply in the same way. Ask the office which code it will put on the claim.

Of the state Medicaid dental fee schedules in our archive, 45 price D5110. The amount runs from $311.37 in Florida to $2,083.26 in Delaware, with $731.48 in the middle; for both arches (D5110 plus D5120) the middle schedule is $1,462.96. 3 of these files (Louisiana, Tennessee, Texas) are children's schedules, kept as a yardstick only, and Minnesota's amount includes the 98% add-on to its printed schedule ($474.45 before the add-on). A fee schedule says what the program pays a dentist for the code. It is not a promise that adult dentures are covered in that state: check the adult benefit in our Medicaid dental coverage by state guide.

FDA-cleared materials for printed dentures

The resins used to print denture bases and denture teeth go through the FDA's 510(k) clearance. In the FDA database we found 48 clearances whose FDA documents describe 3D printing, additive manufacturing or stereolithography for a denture material, from DENTCA DENTURE BASE (K143033), cleared on July 21, 2015, to Glidewell™ Denture Base Resin (K261802), cleared on August 27, 2026. 45 of them are filed under product code EBI (denture resin), and 22 were cleared since January 2024.

A clearance applies to the material or system, not to the practice, the design or the fit. If an office tells you its dentures are "FDA-approved", ask which material it prints with, then look it up in the list below.

Questions to ask before you pay

1. Is the price per arch or for the full set? Most of the prices above are per arch; a full set is two.
2. Is it a starting price, and which tier is it? "From" prices usually name the entry tier.
3. What does the price include? Try-in, delivery, adjustments, relines, and how many visits.
4. Which material is it printed with? Ask for the brand, then find its 510(k) number in the list above.
5. Who keeps the digital file, and what would a spare cost? Labs price a printed duplicate as a separate item.
6. Which codes will be on the claim? D5110 and D5120 for complete dentures, D5130 and D5140 for immediate ones.

Lower-cost routes

If the price is out of reach, look at dental school clinics, the free dental days calendar (Mission of Mercy and Remote Area Medical events) and your state's adult Medicaid rules. For other denture types and their prices, see types of dentures and their cost.
